Developmental prosopagnosia and adaptative compensatory strategies: Case study
Prosopagnosia is a type of visual agnosia with inability to identify faces, usually secondary to brain lesion in associative cortex areas, but there is also a congenital form known as developmental prosopagnosia. Objectives To describe a case of developmental prosopagnosia that illustrates the specificity of the pathways for perception of faces in the visual system. Also, we will describe pos...
متن کاملDevelopmental prosopagnosia: A case analysis and treatment study.
This paper reports a treatment case study focused on face perception impairments designed for AL, an 8-year-old child with prosopagnosia. AL's prosopagnosia was characterized by deficits at the level of structural encoding-that is, he was unable to achieve normal basic perception of faces. This impairment then impacted on all subsequent aspects of familiar- and unfamiliar-face processing. Detai...
متن کاملCompensatory strategies in processing facial emotions: evidence from prosopagnosia.
We report data on the processing of facial emotion in a prosopagnosic patient (H.J.A.). H.J.A. was relatively accurate at discriminating happy from angry upright faces, but he performed at chance when the faces were inverted. Furthermore, with upright faces there was no configural interference effect on emotion judgements, when face parts expressing different emotions were aligned to express a ...
متن کاملEye-movement strategies in developmental prosopagnosia and "super" face recognition.
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a severe deficit in face recognition. Few investigations have examined whether impairments at the early stages of processing may underpin the condition, and it is also unknown whether DP is simply the "bottom end" of the typical face-processing spectrum. To address these issues, we monitored the eye-movements of DPs, typ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Prosopagnosia?
Single unit studies in monkeys, as well as neuroimaging methods in humans, show consistently activated neural structures that respond selectively to faces. It is thus natural to hypothesize that prosopagnosia is related to some malfunction in these same neural structures. Two kinds of prosopagnosia exist: those due to injury called acquired prosopagnosia, and others that have no obvious basis, ...
